Yokomo’s Nicholas Lee has been lighting up the tracks around the world, becoming one of the
favorites to watch at any international event. ;e young factory driver is based in Singapore
and travels to races all over with a special focus on Asia, helping to strengthen Yokomo’s
impact in the Far East. On this side of the Pacific, he mixed it up in the Invitational Class at the
prestigious Reedy TC Race of Champions, where he put in an impressive performance and
finished fourth overall this year. We caught up with him in Hong Kong at the second stop of the
Asian On-Road Championship. Let’s take a closer look at his Yokomo BD8.

Above: Nicholas says his Yokomo
BD8 is “mostly stock,” and prefers
to use standard tuning options.

Left: Nicholas uses a Hobby Wing
XR10 Pro speed control with boost
and turbo added. His motor is the
Hobby Wing V10 G2 4. 5 T with stock
rotor. As rules dictate he uses two
WTF fans: one on the speed control
and one placed behind the motor.

Right: ;e rear is outfitted with
a gear di; filled with 10k oil. He
explained that he usually starts
with 10k, but if the grip gets higher
he will switch to something heavier.

Like many of his competition and
teammates, he opts to run ARS rear
suspension.
